bacterial conjunctivitis Loss of vision

I almost went to the Er yesterday but I held back to wait to see if the drops help clear up my vision. My ophthalmologist said he is not concerned and currently he doesn’t know what the cause of my vision change is. But I am the one suffering through this and its not easy 🙁

@godislove, I know it is a weekend, but I agree with Sue that you should get checked. Infection, swelling, sudden vision change should be checked, now. Monday is a long way off.
I once had an eye 'act up', for something different on a Saturday night. I called my PCP early Monday morning and he sent me to ophthalmologist who sent me to Retina Specialist. In a matter of days, I was diagnosed and started on treatment. I lost some of my central vision in one eye. My doctors said that if I had waited any longer, it would have been much worse.
I don't know why these thing happen on weekends. Let us know what you find out. Do you have someone who can take you to the ER?

My daughter, a telehealth nurse, says that with vision changes like yours, you need to go to the ER. I would suggest one affiliated with a teaching hospital or large practice, so that there are opthalmologists on call. Eyesight is too precious to wait and worry.
Let me know what you learn.
